Masaki Sōzaburō
Masaki Sōzaburō was a Japanese samurai and potter during the Edo period from Owari Province. He studied under Hirasawa Kurō and made mainly Shino ware or Kiseto tea utensils. He served under the 12th Owari Lord Tokugawa Naritaka and was responsible for pottery. His style was influenced by the tastes at the Owari Tokugawa court at Nagoya Castle which produced Ofukei ware.
His son was Iori, who also made items with his father together.
